Description

信息指示方法、终端设备、网络设备、芯片和存储介质Information indicating method, terminal equipment, network equipment, chip and storage medium

技术领域technical field

本申请涉及通信领域，并且更具体地，涉及一种信息指示方法、终端设备、网络设备、芯片、计算机可读存储介质、计算机程序产品、计算机程序和通信***。The present application relates to the communication field, and more specifically, relates to an information indication method, terminal equipment, network equipment, chip, computer readable storage medium, computer program product, computer program and communication system.

背景技术Background technique

NR***支持需要高速率、高频谱效率、大带宽的增强型移动宽带(Enhanced Mobile Broadband，eMBB)业务，同时也支持其他在速率、带宽、功耗、成本等方面有着不同需求的业务类型，例如传感器网络、视频监控、可穿戴设备等。支持这些业务的终端相比支持eMBB的终端的能力是降低的，如支持的带宽减小、处理时间的放松、天线数减少、最大调制阶数的放松等。这类终端可以称为低能力(Reduced Capability，RedCap)终端。The NR system supports Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) services that require high speed, high spectral efficiency, and large bandwidth, and also supports other types of services that have different requirements in terms of speed, bandwidth, power consumption, and cost, such as Sensor networks, video surveillance, wearable devices, etc. The capability of terminals supporting these services is lower than that of terminals supporting eMBB, such as reduced supported bandwidth, relaxation of processing time, reduction of number of antennas, relaxation of maximum modulation order, etc. This type of terminal may be called a reduced capability (Reduced Capability, RedCap) terminal.

为便于网络设备根据不同的终端类型设置下行信道的传输方式，相关技术中，允许RedCap终端在随机接入过程中上报其终端的类型或能力，使得网络设备更早的识别RedCap终端的接入，并针对RedCap的传输能力进行优化，提高传输效率。这种上报方式可以称为提前指示(earlier indication)。然而，终端在随机接入过程中进行提前指示，会对随机接入过程中的上行资源集合进行分割，造成上行资源的利用率下降。因此，需要考虑如何灵活地进行提前指示。In order to facilitate the network equipment to set the transmission mode of the downlink channel according to different terminal types, in related technologies, RedCap terminals are allowed to report the type or capability of their terminals during the random access process, so that the network equipment can identify the access of RedCap terminals earlier, And optimize the transmission capacity of RedCap to improve transmission efficiency. This reporting method may be called an early indication (earlier indication). However, when the terminal performs an advance indication during the random access process, the uplink resource set in the random access process will be divided, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of the uplink resources. Therefore, it is necessary to consider how to make advance directives flexibly.

The following related technologies can be combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them belong to the embodiments of the present application. protected range.

(1)随机接入信道(Random Access Channel，RACH)过程：(1) Random Access Channel (RACH) process:

如图2所示，在5G***中，随机接入过程采用了类似LTE的四步过程：As shown in Figure 2, in the 5G system, the random access process adopts a four-step process similar to LTE:

第一步：UE向基站发送PRACH(Physical Random Access Channel，物理随机接入信道)，该PRACH包含随机接入前导码preamble(也即第一消息message 1，MSG1)。Step 1: The UE sends a PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel, Physical Random Access Channel) to the base station, and the PRACH includes a random access preamble (that is, the first message message 1, MSG1).

第二步：基站检测到到UE发送的接入前导码之后，向UE发送随机接入响应(Random Access Response，RAR)，即第二消息(Message 2，Msg 2)，以告知UE发送第三消息(Message 3，Msg 3)可以使用的物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，PUSCH)资源，并为UE分配无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identifier，RNTI)，给UE提供时间推进命令(Time Advance Command)等。Step 2: After detecting the access preamble sent by the UE, the base station sends a Random Access Response (Random Access Response, RAR), that is, the second message (Message 2, Msg 2) to the UE to inform the UE to send the third Message (Message 3, Msg 3) can use Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resources, and allocate Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) to UE, and provide time advance command (Time Advance Command) and so on.

第三步：UE接收到随机接入响应RAR之后，在随机接入响应消息所指定的PUSCH资源发送Msg 3消息，其中携带一个UE特定的临时标识信息。Step 3: After receiving the random access response RAR, the UE sends a Msg 3 message on the PUSCH resource specified by the random access response message, which carries a UE-specific temporary identification information.

第四步：基站向UE发送第四消息(Message 4，Msg4)，其中包括竞争解决消息，同时为UE分配上行传输资源。UE接收到基站发送的Msg4时，会检测UE在Msg 3发送的UE特定的临时标识是否包含在基站发送的竞争解决消息中，若包含则表明UE随机接入过程成功，否则认为随机过程失败，UE需要再次从第一步开始发起随机接入过程。Step 4: The base station sends a fourth message (Message 4, Msg4) to the UE, which includes a contention resolution message, and at the same time allocates uplink transmission resources for the UE. When the UE receives Msg4 sent by the base station, it will detect whether the UE-specific temporary identity sent by the UE in Msg 3 is included in the contention resolution message sent by the base station. If it is included, it indicates that the random access process of the UE is successful, otherwise it is considered that the random process has failed. The UE needs to initiate the random access procedure from the first step again.

(2)两步(2-step)RACH过程(2) Two-step (2-step) RACH process

四步RACH过程的时延开销比较大，对于5G中的低时延高可靠场景是不合适的。在NR的标准化过程中，考虑到低时延高可靠相关业务的特点，在R16引入了两步RACH过程，即Type-2随机接入过程，相比四步RACH过程，可以减少接入时延。相应的，四步RACH过程称为Type-1随机接入过程。The delay overhead of the four-step RACH process is relatively large, which is not suitable for low-latency and high-reliability scenarios in 5G. In the standardization process of NR, considering the characteristics of low-latency and high-reliability related services, a two-step RACH process, namely Type-2 random access process, was introduced in R16. Compared with the four-step RACH process, the access delay can be reduced . Correspondingly, the four-step RACH process is called a Type-1 random access process.

两步RACH过程如图3所示：The two-step RACH process is shown in Figure 3:

在两步RACH过程中，简单地说，相当于将四步RACH过程的第一步和第三步合并为两步RACH过程中的第一步：UE发送A类消息(Message A，Msg A)；将四步RACH过程的第二步和第四步合并为两步RACH过程中的第二步：基站发送用于应答的B类消息(Message B，Msg B)。In the two-step RACH process, simply speaking, it is equivalent to combining the first step and the third step of the four-step RACH process into the first step in the two-step RACH process: UE sends a type A message (Message A, Msg A) ; The second step and the fourth step of the four-step RACH process are combined into the second step in the two-step RACH process: the base station sends a Class B message (Message B, Msg B) for response.

在两步RACH的第一步中，Msg A包括前导码preamble和PUSCH部分；在两步RACH的第二步中，Msg B包括物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)和物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)。In the first step of the two-step RACH, Msg A includes the preamble and the PUSCH part; in the second step of the two-step RACH, Msg B includes the physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) and the physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH).

对于Msg A，UE需要发送preamble和PUSCH，其中Preamble所在的RACH位置(RACH occasion，RO)与四步RACH过程一样，通过网络配置，其RO可以与四步RACH的RO共享，也可以单独配置。For Msg A, UE needs to send preamble and PUSCH. The RACH position (RACH occasion, RO) where Preamble is located is the same as the four-step RACH process. Through network configuration, its RO can be shared with the RO of four-step RACH, or it can be configured separately.

物理上行共享信道PUSCH所在的时频资源称为PUSCH位置(PUSCH occasion，PO)。一个PO可以包含多个PUSCH资源单元(PUSCH Resource Unit，PRU)，一个PRU包含PUSCH Resource和解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal，DMRS)，DMRS包含DMRS端口(DMRS Port)和DMRS序列(DMRS Sequence)(适用于正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access，OFDMA)。PO也是通过网络配置的，其周期与RO是相同的，且是有关联关系的。The time-frequency resource where the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH is located is called a PUSCH position (PUSCH occasion, PO). A PO can contain multiple PUSCH Resource Units (PUSCH Resource Unit, PRU), a PRU contains PUSCH Resource and demodulation reference signal (Demodulation Reference Signal, DMRS), DMRS contains DMRS port (DMRS Port) and DMRS sequence (DMRS Sequence) (Applicable to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). PO is also configured through the network, and its period is the same as that of RO, and it is related.

如图4所示，物理上行共享信道所在的时隙PO slot与关联的RO例如物理随机接入信道所在的时隙(PRACH slot)之间在时频位置的相对关系是网络配置的，该相对关系包含两者之间的偏移(offset)。As shown in Figure 4, the relative time-frequency position relationship between the time slot PO slot where the physical uplink shared channel is located and the associated RO, such as the time slot where the physical random access channel (PRACH slot) is located, is configured by the network. A relationship contains an offset between the two.

(3)RedCap终端(3) RedCap terminal

NR***主要是为了支持eMBB业务而设计的。其主要技术是为了满足高速率、高频谱效率、大带宽的需要。实际上，除了eMBB，还存在多种不同的业务类型，例如传感器网络、视频监控、可穿戴等，它们在速率、带宽、功耗、成本等方面与eMBB业务有着不同的需求。The NR system is mainly designed to support eMBB services. Its main technology is to meet the needs of high speed, high spectral efficiency and large bandwidth. In fact, in addition to eMBB, there are many different types of services, such as sensor networks, video surveillance, wearables, etc., which have different requirements from eMBB services in terms of speed, bandwidth, power consumption, and cost.

支持这些业务的终端相比支持eMBB的终端的能力是降低的，如支持的带宽减小、处理时间的放松、天线数减少、最大调制阶数的放松等。需要针对这些业务和相应的低能力终端对NR***进行优化。这类终端可以简称为低能力(Reduced Capability，RedCap)终端。The capability of terminals supporting these services is lower than that of terminals supporting eMBB, such as reduced supported bandwidth, relaxation of processing time, reduction of number of antennas, relaxation of maximum modulation order, etc. NR systems need to be optimized for these services and corresponding low-capability terminals. This type of terminal may be referred to as a reduced capability (Reduced Capability, RedCap) terminal for short.

在LTE技术中，已经有了类似的***设计用于支持大连接数、低功耗、低成本的终端，类似的***设计如MTC、窄带物联网(Narrow Band Internet of Things，NB-IoT)。在NR***中，希望引入类似的技术用于使用NR技术更好的支持除eMBB业务之外的其他业务类型。对于这类低复杂度、低成本的终端，一种需要进行的优化是覆盖增强，用于提高这类终端的下行和上行覆盖。In LTE technology, there are already similar systems designed to support terminals with a large number of connections, low power consumption, and low cost, such as MTC and Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT). In the NR system, it is hoped to introduce a similar technology to use the NR technology to better support other service types except the eMBB service. For such low-complexity and low-cost terminals, one kind of optimization that needs to be performed is coverage enhancement, which is used to improve the downlink and uplink coverage of such terminals.

(4)网络对RedCap UE的识别(4) Identification of RedCap UE by the network

对于初始接入的UE，在接收到***消息后，发起随机接入过程与网络建立无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)连接。在此过程中，网络需要识别UE的类型，获得UE相关的能力信息。UE可以采用以下方法向网络设备指示UE的类型：For the initial access UE, after receiving the system message, it initiates a random access procedure to establish a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection with the network. During this process, the network needs to identify the type of UE and obtain UE-related capability information. UE can use the following methods to indicate the type of UE to the network device:

在Msg1的发送阶段进行指示，例如通过Msg 1传输所在的初始上行部分带宽(Bandwidth Part，BWP)，通过独立的PRACH资源，或划分独立的PRACH preamble集合；Indicate during the sending phase of Msg1, for example, through the initial uplink part bandwidth (Bandwidth Part, BWP) where Msg 1 is transmitted, through independent PRACH resources, or divide independent PRACH preamble sets;

在Msg3的发送阶段进行指示，例如承载的Msg 3 PUSCH的载荷中；Indicate during the sending phase of Msg3, for example, in the payload of Msg 3 PUSCH carried;

在Msg4传输之后指示，如第五消息(Message5，Msg5)或者作为UE的能力上报；Indicated after the Msg4 transmission, such as the fifth message (Message5, Msg5) or reported as the capability of the UE;

在2-step RACH过程中的MsgA的发送阶段进行指示。Indicated during the sending phase of MsgA in the 2-step RACH process.

对于RedCap终端，其在初始接入阶段并不能让网络设备获知其终端类型或能力。相比非RedCap终端，RedCap终端由于接收天线数的减少，下行信道的接收性能下降。在随机接入过程中，网络通过公共信道发送Msg2和Msg4给终端，由于不知道终端的类型，一种保守的做法是网络按照RedCap终端的接收天线数来设置下行信道的传输方式，如调度资源大小、调制编码方案等。这样会造成下行频谱效率的降低。For the RedCap terminal, it cannot let the network equipment know its terminal type or capability during the initial access phase. Compared with non-RedCap terminals, due to the reduction in the number of receiving antennas of RedCap terminals, the receiving performance of the downlink channel decreases. In the process of random access, the network sends Msg2 and Msg4 to the terminal through the common channel. Since the type of the terminal is not known, a conservative approach is to set the transmission mode of the downlink channel according to the number of receiving antennas of the RedCap terminal, such as scheduling resources size, modulation and coding scheme, etc. This will result in a decrease in downlink spectrum efficiency.

解决该问题的方法包括在随机接入过程中，RedCap终端上报其终端的类型或能力，便于网络采用相应的下行信道的传输方式。总的来说，网络更早的识别RedCap UE的接入，可以更早的针对RedCap UE的传输进行优化，提高传输效率，这种上报方式或者说指示方式以下称为提前指示(earlier indication)。例如通过Msg1指示，网络就可以在发送Msg2时针对RedCap UE进行相应的优化。但是，通过Msg1的发送阶段进行指示，包括通过preamble，初始上行BWP，PRACH资源的不同来区分RedCap终端和非RedCap终端，这种方法会对PRACH的资源集合进行了分割，会造成PRACH资源的利用率下降，造成PRACH支持的用户容量的下降。当需要指示多种RedCap UE类型或能力时，对于PRACH资源进行进一步的分割，将进一步地加剧该问题。基于此，可以考虑允许网络通过***消息配置是否在随机接入过程中进行对RedCap终端类型或能力的提前指示，需考虑如何进行配置。The method to solve this problem includes that during the random access process, the RedCap terminal reports its terminal type or capability, so that the network can adopt a corresponding downlink channel transmission mode. In general, the network recognizes the access of the RedCap UE earlier, and can optimize the transmission of the RedCap UE earlier to improve the transmission efficiency. This reporting method or indication method is hereinafter referred to as early indication (earlier indication). For example, through the Msg1 instruction, the network can perform corresponding optimization for the RedCap UE when sending the Msg2. However, it is indicated through the sending phase of Msg1, including distinguishing RedCap terminals and non-RedCap terminals through preamble, initial uplink BWP, and PRACH resources. This method will divide the resource set of PRACH, which will cause the utilization of PRACH resources. rate drops, resulting in a drop in user capacity supported by the PRACH. When multiple RedCap UE types or capabilities need to be indicated, further division of PRACH resources will further exacerbate this problem. Based on this, it can be considered to allow the network to configure whether to perform an advance indication of the type or capability of the RedCap terminal during the random access process through the system message, and how to configure it needs to be considered.

可选地，第一PRACH包括：两步随机接入过程的Msg A中的PRACH。Optionally, the first PRACH includes: the PRACH in Msg A of the two-step random access procedure.

实际应用中，终端设备还可以根据第一指示信息确定是否在随机接入过程中的第一PRACH和第一PUSCH中联合进行提前指示。In practical applications, the terminal device may also determine whether to jointly perform an advance indication in the first PRACH and the first PUSCH in the random access process according to the first indication information.

本申请实施例中，在不同的场景中，第一指示信息可以用不同的用处。以下提供几个具体的示例：In this embodiment of the present application, in different scenarios, the first indication information may be used for different purposes. Here are a few specific examples:

示例1：第一指示信息用于指示是否在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示。Example 1: The first indication information is used to indicate whether to perform an advance indication of the RedCap terminal during the random access process.

例如，在***已配置用于提前指示的上行信息为上述第一上行信息的情况下，终端设备根据第一指示信息确定是否进行提前指示。For example, in a case where the uplink information configured by the system for the advance indication is the first uplink information, the terminal device determines whether to perform the advance indication according to the first indication information.

一种实现方式是，第一指示信息显式地指示是否能在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示。例如，在***消息中增加第一指示信息，以比特1指示终端设备进行提前指示，以比特0指示终端设备不进行提前指示。An implementation manner is that the first indication information explicitly indicates whether an advance indication of the RedCap terminal can be performed during the random access process. For example, the first indication information is added to the system message, bit 1 is used to instruct the terminal device to perform the advance indication, and bit 0 is used to indicate the terminal device not to perform the advance indication.

另一种实现方式是，第一指示信息隐式地指示是否能在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示。Another implementation manner is that the first indication information implicitly indicates whether an advance indication of the RedCap terminal can be performed during the random access process.

可选地，第一指示信息用于为终端设备配置第一上行资源，其中，第一上行资源用于在随机接入过程中发送上行信息；Optionally, the first indication information is used to configure a first uplink resource for the terminal device, where the first uplink resource is used to send uplink information during a random access process;

终端设备根据第一指示信息，确定是否在随机接入过程的第一上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示，包括：The terminal device determines whether to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the first uplink information of the random access process according to the first indication information, including:

在第一上行资源包括低能力终端的上行资源的情况下，终端设备确定在随机接入过程的第一上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示。In a case where the first uplink resource includes the uplink resource of the low-capability terminal, the terminal device determines to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the first uplink information of the random access procedure.

也就是说，在第一上行资源包括低能力终端的上行资源的情况下，第一指示信息还用于指示终端设备确定在第一上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示。That is to say, in the case that the first uplink resource includes the uplink resource of the low-capability terminal, the first indication information is also used to instruct the terminal device to determine to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the first uplink information.

可选地，在第一上行资源不包括低能力终端的上行资源的情况下，终端设备确定不在随机接入过程的第一上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示。Optionally, when the first uplink resources do not include the uplink resources of the low-capability terminal, the terminal device determines not to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the first uplink information of the random access procedure.

例如，网络设备通过第一指示信息为RedCap终端配置发送PRACH和/或PUSCH 的资源，其中包括非RedCap终端使用的资源，可选地，还可以包括RedCap终端使用的资源。当网络配置了RedCap终端使用的资源时，则隐式地配置了终端设备可以在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示，例如在预先指定的第一上行信息中进行提前指示。示例性地，终端设备在使用第一指示信息配置的资源发送上行信息时，网络设备可识别终端设备为RedCap终端。For example, the network device configures resources for sending PRACH and/or PUSCH for the RedCap terminal through the first indication information, including resources used by non-RedCap terminals, and optionally, resources used by RedCap terminals. When the network configures the resources used by the RedCap terminal, it implicitly configures that the terminal device can perform an early indication of the RedCap terminal during the random access process, for example, perform an early indication in the pre-specified first uplink information. Exemplarily, when the terminal device uses the resource configured by the first indication information to send uplink information, the network device may identify the terminal device as a RedCap terminal.

示例2：第一指示信息用于配置用于进行RedCap终端的提前指示的上行信息。Example 2: The first indication information is used to configure uplink information for performing an advance indication of the RedCap terminal.

例如，在***已配置或默认终端设备可以进行提前指示的情况下，第一指示信息用于配置用于进行提前指示的上行信息，基于此，终端设备基于第一指示信息，确定是在第一上行信息或其他上行信息中进行提前指示。For example, in the case that the system has configured or defaulted that the terminal device can perform an advance indication, the first indication information is used to configure the uplink information for performing an advance indication. Based on this, the terminal device determines that the first The advance indication is carried out in the uplink information or other uplink information.

又如，在网络设备通过第二指示信息配置终端设备可以进行提前指示的情况下，终端设备基于第一指示信息，确定是在第一上行信息或其他上行信息中进行提前指示。具体地，上述步骤S520，终端设备根据第一指示信息，确定是否在随机接入过程的第一上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示，包括：For another example, when the network device configures the terminal device to perform the advance indication through the second indication information, the terminal device determines whether to perform the advance indication in the first uplink information or other uplink information based on the first indication information. Specifically, in the above step S520, the terminal device determines whether to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the first uplink information of the random access procedure according to the first indication information, including:

在根据接收到的第二指示信息确定在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示的情况下，终端设备根据第一指示信息，确定是否在随机接入过程的第一上行信息中进行RedCap终端的提前指示。When it is determined according to the received second indication information that an advance indication of the RedCap terminal is performed during the random access process, the terminal device determines whether to perform the RedCap terminal in the first uplink information of the random access process according to the first indication information advance instructions.

对应地，上述步骤S610，网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息，包括：Correspondingly, in the above step S610, the network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device, including:

在向终端设备发送第二指示信息的情况下，网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息；In the case of sending the second indication information to the terminal device, the network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device;

其中，第二指示信息用于指示终端设备确定在随机接入过程中进行低能力终端的提前指示。Wherein, the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to determine to perform an early indication of the low-capability terminal during the random access process.

也就是说，网络设备通过第二指示信息指示终端设备可以进行提前指示，在此基础上，终端设备基于第一指示信息确定是在第一上行信息或其他上行信息中进行提前指示。That is to say, the network device indicates through the second indication information that the terminal device can perform the advance indication, and on this basis, the terminal device determines whether to perform the advance indication in the first uplink information or other uplink information based on the first indication information.

示例性地，第二指示信息可以由***消息承载。Exemplarily, the second indication information may be carried by a system message.

示例性地，第二指示信息可以显式地指示终端设备可以进行提前指示。例如在***消息中设置专用信息，用以指示终端设备是否能进行提前指示。一种示例是，当专用信息为第二指示信息例如比特1时，终端设备可以进行提前指示；当专用信息为其他信息例如比特0时，终端设备不进行提前指示。另一种示例是，该专用信息即第二指示信息，当接收到第二指示信息时，终端设备可以进行提前指示；当没有接收到第二指示信息时，终端设备不进行提前指示。Exemplarily, the second indication information may explicitly indicate that the terminal device may perform an advance indication. For example, special information is set in the system message to indicate whether the terminal device can perform an advance indication. An example is that when the dedicated information is the second indication information such as bit 1, the terminal device may perform an advance indication; when the dedicated information is other information such as bit 0, the terminal device does not perform an advance indication. Another example is that the dedicated information is the second indication information. When receiving the second indication information, the terminal device may perform an advance indication; when not receiving the second indication information, the terminal device does not perform an advance indication.

可选地，第一指示信息可以显式地配置用于进行提前指示的上行信息。具体地，第一指示信息用于指示第三上行信息，第三上行信息用于进行低能力终端的提前指示；Optionally, the first indication information may explicitly configure uplink information for performing an advance indication. Specifically, the first indication information is used to indicate third uplink information, and the third uplink information is used to perform early indication of low-capability terminals;

在第三上行信息包括第一上行信息的情况下，终端设备确定在第一上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示。In a case where the third uplink information includes the first uplink information, the terminal device determines to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the first uplink information.

换句话说，在第三上行信息包括第一上行信息的情况下，第一指示信息还用于指示终端设备确定在第一上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示。In other words, when the third uplink information includes the first uplink information, the first indication information is also used to instruct the terminal device to determine to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the first uplink information.

可选地，在第三上行信息不包括第一上行信息的情况下，终端设备确定不在第一上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示。Optionally, when the third uplink information does not include the first uplink information, the terminal device determines not to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the first uplink information.

例如，第三上行信息的候选项为第一PRACH和第一PUSCH。第一指示信息直接指示第三上行信息为第一PRACH和/或第一PUSCH。在第三上行信息包括第一PRACH的情况下，终端设备确定在第一PRACH中进行RedCap终端的提前指示；在第三上行信息包括第一PUSCH的情况下，终端设备确定在第一PUSCH进行RedCap终端的提前指示；在第三上行信息包括第一PRACH和第一PUSCH的情况下，终端设备确定在第一PRACH和第一PUSCH中联合进行RedCap终端的提前指示。For example, candidates for the third uplink information are the first PRACH and the first PUSCH. The first indication information directly indicates that the third uplink information is the first PRACH and/or the first PUSCH. When the third uplink information includes the first PRACH, the terminal device determines to perform an advance indication of the RedCap terminal on the first PRACH; when the third uplink information includes the first PUSCH, the terminal device determines to perform RedCap on the first PUSCH Advance indication of the terminal: in the case that the third uplink information includes the first PRACH and the first PUSCH, the terminal device determines to jointly perform the advance indication of the RedCap terminal in the first PRACH and the first PUSCH.

示例3：第一指示信息用于指示是否在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示，以及配置用于进行RedCap终端的提前指示的上行信息。Example 3: the first indication information is used to indicate whether to perform an advance indication of the RedCap terminal during the random access process, and configure uplink information for performing the advance indication of the RedCap terminal.

例如，在示例1中第一指示信息显式地指示是否能在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示的基础上，结合示例2，第一指示信息还可以显示地配置用于进行提前指示的上行信息。For example, in Example 1, on the basis that the first indication information explicitly indicates whether an advance indication of the RedCap terminal can be performed during the random access process, in combination with Example 2, the first indication information may also be explicitly configured to perform an advance indication uplink information.

又如，在示例1中第一指示信息通过配置第一上行资源隐式地指示是否能在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示的基础上，结合示例2，第一指示信息还可以显示地配置用于进行提前指示的上行信息。As another example, in Example 1, on the basis that the first indication information implicitly indicates whether the RedCap terminal can perform an advance indication during the random access process by configuring the first uplink resource, in combination with Example 2, the first indication information may also display Configure the uplink information for the advance indication.

再如，在示例1中第一指示信息通过配置第一上行资源隐式地指示是否能在随机接入过程中进行RedCap终端的提前指示的基础上，第一指示信息还可以隐式地配置用于进行提前指示的上行信息。示例性地，在上述第一指示信息用于配置第一上行资源的示例中，第一上行资源用于发送第一上行信息。As another example, in Example 1, on the basis that the first indication information implicitly indicates whether an advance indication of the RedCap terminal can be performed during the random access process by configuring the first uplink resource, the first indication information may also be implicitly configured for Uplink information for advance indication. Exemplarily, in the foregoing example where the first indication information is used to configure the first uplink resource, the first uplink resource is used to send the first uplink information.

具体而言，网络设备通过第一指示信息为RedCap终端配置第一PRACH的发送资源，其中包括非RedCap终端使用的第一PRACH的发送资源，可选地，还可以包括RedCap终端使用的第一PRACH的发送资源。当网络配置了RedCap终端使用的第一PRACH的发送资源时，则隐式地配置了终端设备通过第一PRACH进行RedCap终端的提前指示。当网络没有配置RedCap终端使用的第一PRACH的发送资源，则隐式的配置了不通过第一PRACH进行RedCap终端类型或能力的提前指示。因此，RedCap终端可以根据网络是否配置了RedCap终端使用的第一PRACH的发送资源，确定是否通过第一PRACH进行RedCap终端类型或能力的提前指示。Specifically, the network device configures the first PRACH transmission resource for the RedCap terminal through the first indication information, including the first PRACH transmission resource used by the non-RedCap terminal, and optionally, the first PRACH used by the RedCap terminal. sending resources. When the network configures the transmission resource of the first PRACH used by the RedCap terminal, it implicitly configures the terminal device to perform an advance indication of the RedCap terminal through the first PRACH. When the network does not configure the transmission resource of the first PRACH used by the RedCap terminal, it implicitly configures that the type or capability of the RedCap terminal is not indicated in advance through the first PRACH. Therefore, the RedCap terminal can determine whether to perform an advance indication of the type or capability of the RedCap terminal through the first PRACH according to whether the network configures the transmission resources of the first PRACH used by the RedCap terminal.

类似地，网络设备通过第一指示信息为RedCap终端配置发送上述第一PUSCH的资源，其中包括非RedCap终端使用的第一PUSCH的发送资源，可选地，还可以包括RedCap终端使用的第一PUSCH的发送资源。当网络配置了RedCap终端使用的第一PUSCH的发送资源时，则隐式地配置了终端设备通过第一PUSCH进行RedCap终端的提前指示。当网络没有配置RedCap终端使用的第一PUSCH的发送资源，则隐式的配置了不通过第一PUSCH进行RedCap终端类型或能力的提前指示。因此，RedCap终端可以根据网络是否配置了RedCap终端使用的第一PUSCH的发送资源，确定是否通过第一PUSCH进行RedCap终端类型或能力的提前指示。Similarly, the network device configures the resource for sending the above-mentioned first PUSCH for the RedCap terminal through the first indication information, which includes the first PUSCH transmission resource used by the non-RedCap terminal, and optionally, may also include the first PUSCH used by the RedCap terminal sending resources. When the network configures the transmission resource of the first PUSCH used by the RedCap terminal, it implicitly configures the terminal device to perform an advance indication of the RedCap terminal through the first PUSCH. When the network does not configure the first PUSCH transmission resource used by the RedCap terminal, it is implicitly configured not to use the first PUSCH to perform an early indication of the type or capability of the RedCap terminal. Therefore, the RedCap terminal may determine whether to perform an advance indication of the type or capability of the RedCap terminal through the first PUSCH according to whether the network configures the transmission resource of the first PUSCH used by the RedCap terminal.

可选地，在上述示例中，信息指示方法还可以包括：Optionally, in the above examples, the information indication method may also include:

在第一上行资源不包括低能力终端的上行资源的情况下，终端设备确定在随机接入过程的第二上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示。In the case that the first uplink resource does not include the uplink resource of the low-capability terminal, the terminal device determines to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the second uplink information of the random access procedure.

也就是说，在第一上行资源不包括低能力终端的上行资源的情况下，第一指示信息还用于指示终端设备确定在随机接入过程的第二上行信息中进行低能力终端的提前指示。That is to say, when the first uplink resource does not include the uplink resource of the low-capability terminal, the first indication information is also used to instruct the terminal device to determine to perform an advance indication of the low-capability terminal in the second uplink information of the random access procedure .
